2008 Seneca 36MSHD. Any one use Scan Gage II or III in your Super C or something else. ??

I started with the scan gauge and it worked well but the data was pretty small and not very intuitive. Installled a BluFire unit last fall and while we have not really used it yet the screens are pretty impressive. Rustynuts has done a huge amount of work on his screens and you might find them on here or on one of the Seneca sites on Facebook.

I have used the Scangauge and now run the Bluefire like mentioned BUT the Bluefire is made for medium and hd trucks and use the J1939 protocol connector and I’m pretty sure the Kodiak chassis with the Duramax uses OBDII connector. Scangauge D is also J1939 connector so don’t think it would work on the Duramax. I just looked at the Scangauge III and it looks like it works with all 1996 and later GM diesels so that is probably the one that would work, but confirm with a Scangauge. There are a lot of other monitors out there like Edge and Bully Dog.

Well after doing some quick searching, it sounds like the Kodiak chassis may have an OBDII port and a J1939 port. I would suggest checking with the monitors manufacturers for comparability or search some of the Duramax Diesel forums…..maybe somebody with an early Seneca can be morespecific.

Thanks every one. I know my motorhome has a OBDII port. I will check out Edge & Bully Dog monitors.

I use a Veepeak bluetooth OBD2 scanner with free android app Car Scanner ELM OBD2 and it's more comprehensive than my Foxwell that's a notch under the factory scanner stuff. We have 2 Benz, a Toyota and a Nissan Truck and I get CAN bus reads as well as OBD2 plus real time monitoring of everything the ECU is monitoring. The only thing it won't do is modify the ECU.

When I had my Kodiak Chassis with the Duramax I used the Edge CTS2. I worked really well. Very user friendly.
